MicroSD cards are common in smartphones, tablets, and action cameras. Finding the right microSD card doesn’t have to be difficult — we can help you find the best microSD cards for your needs.
Samsung EVO Select MicroSD Memory Card
This microSD card can handle the needs of nearly any device and any type of user, and it offers the fastest speeds and highest storage of the cards we considered while keeping a low price tag. The write speed isn’t provided for this microSD card, which isn’t uncommon — manufacturers often focus on read speed instead because it’s where you’ll notice a la g if there is any.
SanDisk 256GB Extreme Memory Card
Bob Sacha, a photographer and associate professor of video storytelling, recommends getting a card like this one. “This card may have a lower read speed and write speed, but it works in all the cameras I use,” he says. This microSD card is also shockproof, waterproof, and able to withstand high temperatures, which makes it suitable for action cameras.
SanDisk Ultra 512GB Memory Card
If you’re into portable gaming, and are planning on keeping more than a game or two on hand at any given time, you’ll need enough storage to back that up. The SanDisk Ultra 512GB is just a version of our pick for Switch gaming with more storage, since the read and write speeds are perfectly fine for gaming. It also has plenty of storage to work with a 4kdrone (无人机) or a home security camera.
PNY U3 Pro Elite 512GB MicroSD Card
Where write speed really comes into play is when you’re recording video. That’s also when you’ll want to pay attention to the video class, which measures the minimum levels of write speed for recording video. Ultra-high-speed class is a number inside a U on the front of the card. A U1 card should be able to handle 1080p recording without any issues, but if you want to record 4K, get a U3 card like the PNY Pro Elite.
1. What is special about Samsung EVO Select MicroSD Memory Card
A. The fastest speed. B. The highest storage.
C. An affordable price. D. No write speed.
2. Which of the following is not the feature of SanDisk 256GB Extreme
A. Shockproof. B. Waterproof.

Wang Fang, a Suzhou native, has given her heart and soul to Kunqu Opera. Wang, who has twice won the Plum Performance Award—China’s top award for theater and opera performances—started to learn the traditional art form in 1977.
Born with a melodic voice, Wang loved to sing and dance when she was little. She performed frequently, and was recruited by the Suzhou Kunqu Opera Troupe (剧团) when she was in middle school. However, her parents refused the troupe’s invitation, insisting that she should concentrate on her studies and not drop out of school. After members of the troupe visited the parents repeatedly and showed great sincerity, Wang’s parents finally agreed.
Learning the traditional art form was never easy. She started to learn how to pronounce words, sing them lyrically and make gestures gently. As an actress playing martial artists roles at first, she had to spend extra time practicing kungqu movements. Years later, Wang used the word “unimaginable” to describe how hard the days were when she first learned Kunqu. She was soaked in sweat when practicing movements in summer, while in winter she often had chilblains (冻疮) on her hands when training in shabby classrooms with broken windows. “But I was young and determined at the time. No matter how difficult, I always got up early the next morning to practice,” Wang recalls.
Wang says she did not love Kunqu at first, but in her early 20s, when she watched the show Peony Pavilion performed by Zhang Jiqing, a master of the art form, it clicked. “I was shocked,” Wang says. “Her every movement was full of elegance and delicacy. Each of her lines and songs was perfect. I was overwhelmed (难以禁受) by the beauty of Kunqu for the first time in my life, and it has stayed with me since. ” Now, Wang has herself become a master of Kunqu. Her performances have impressed generations of audiences and helped to promote the art form among young people.

In Florida’s Everglades, few species are more closely tied to this place’s health than an endangered bird, the snail kite, which eats just one thing: snails. Over the last century, due to changing environments, these local snails have become hard to find, and the birds are dying out. But the number of snail kites has increased recently thanks to an unusual invasive (入侵的) snail, which is a pretty uncommon event.
Snail kites got their name from their amazing flying ability. They were one of the last bird species discovered in the U. S. because of where they live, often hidden in the Everglades. Over the past century, as many of their living places became pretty dry and water stopped running through parts of the Everglades, the snail kite population fell rapidly. It was one of the first birds put on the endangered species list in the 1960s. And by 2007, fewer than 800 had remained.
Right shortly after that, this invasive snail came in, and just started flourishing and getting into every wetland. Since then, the snail kite population has been slowly increasing. By last year’s count, there are now more than 3,000 snail kites. And, although it’s early in the season, researchers are finding lots of nests with eggs and young birds.
Efforts to restore (恢复) Florida’s Everglades have also helped the snail kite, bringing back local plants and the flow of water. The restoration work has been in place for more than 30 years with a cost of more than $20 billion. But progress is slow.
Though some scientists say the invasive snail may have saved the snail kite, Professor Robert Fletcher is feeling uneasy about the possible influence the species will have on the Everglades over the long term. He says, “What we should be thinking about is how to restore local snails to get those benefits rather than depending on this invasive species that can harm the ecosystem. The snails may already have a bad effect on some local plants, and a sign trouble may be showing soon.”
8. What does the uncommon event in the first paragraph refer to
A. The snail kite’s population keeps changing.
B. The local snail kite has found a new food source.
C. An invasive snail positively influences a local species.
D. A local snail has lost its living places to an invasive snail.
9. What is the real reason behind the snail kite’s trouble
A. Their losing good flying ability. B. The absence of a protection list.
C. The appearance of an invasive snail. D. Their long-lasting dry living conditions.
10. What does the underlined word “flourishing” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Falling slowly. B. Growing rapidly. C. Changing quickly. D. Disappearing largely.
11. What do the efforts in Paragraph 4 suggest
A. The restoration work in the Everglades has stopped.
B. Bringing the Everglades to its normal condition is difficult.
C. The Everglades is facing different kinds of natural disasters.
D. Protecting the Everglades’ water is key to snail kites’ survival.
D
A lot more animals glow under a special light than scientists previously thought. This ability to glow is known as fluorescence (荧光), which happens when light is absorbed as one wavelength and emitted as another wavelength.
Travouillon, a scientist from Harvard, wondered why so many animals had this unusual quality, and he asked one key question: Is there a function behind the ability To address the question, Travouillon and his team took a closer look at the life histories of the glowing mammals.
The team discovered that the fluorescence was mainly found in light-colored areas of an animal’s skin and fur. Then they looked at where the fluorescence was found in the animal’s body. They compared that to the animal’s diet and how the animals moved. They also checked whether the animal was nocturnal or diurnal, Travouillon explained. Animals that are nocturnal are most active at night, whereas animals that are diurnal are most active during the day.
One finding was that fluorescence was more common among ground-dwelling, tree-dwelling and burrowing mammals compared to animals that live in water, Travouillon said. The team also found that having a fluorescent coat was more common among nocturnal animals compared to diurnal animals. One potential explanation for that fact is that having a fluorescent coat could help no cturnal animals become more visible to potential partners.
“So, for example, with a species like a quoll that has white spots on its back, the fluorescence would simply brighten their spots,” Travouillon said. “In this way, they are more easily seen. Fluorescence might help members of a species find each other and perhaps recognize each other from a distance,” Travouillon added.
On a closing note, Travouillon cautioned wildlife enthusiasts not to go searching for glowing critters with a UV light. That’s because UV light can damage the animal’s eyesight. Instead, if you want to look for animals in the dark, he recommended using a red light, since it isn’t as bright.
12. What kind of animals are most active at night according to the passage
A. Diurnal animals. B. Nocturnal animals. C. Glowing animals. D. Underwater animals.
13. Why was a fluorescent coat more common for nocturnal animals
A. To live in water. B. To help them move easily at night.
C. To see the members of their species clearly. D. To brighten other nocturnal animals’ spots.
14. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. UV light is harmful for the animal’s eyesight.
B. Wildlife enthusiasts can’t search for glowing critters.
C. Nocturnal animals can be found easily by wildlife enthusiasts.
D. Wildlife enthusiasts had better use bright light to search for glowing mammals.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Active mammals with fluorescent. B. Suggestions for animals enthusiasts.
C. Animals glow under special lights. D. Mammals with an unusual ability in the night.

When Canadian couple Edith Lemay and Sebastien Pelletier first noticed that their daughter Mia was having visual problems, she was just three years old.
A few years after they first took her to see a specialist, Mia was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa (视网膜色素变性), a rare genetic disease that caused a loss or decline in vision over time. There’s nothing they could really do, because there was currently no cure or effective treatment to slow down the progression of retinitis pigmentosa.
Once they came to terms with the news, the couple focused their attention on helping their child to build the skills that she’d need to lead her way through life. When Mia’s specialist suggested that they should assist her with “visual memories”, Lemay realized that there was one truly incredible way that they could do just that for her.
“I thought, ‘I’m not going to show her an elephant in a book. I’m going to take her to see a real elephant,’” she explains. “And I’m going to fill her visual memory with the best, most beautiful images I can.”
She and her husband soon began making plans to spend a year traveling around the globe with their kid. They thought there were great things to do at home but there’s nothing better than traveling where they could feast their eyes on the wonderful scenery.
After gathering up enough savings, they soon began their family journey with an in-depth itinerary (行程) that involved traveling to lots of places all over the world.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
When the parents finally announced the news, Mia hesitated.

As their family journey went on, Mia became fascinated by these unforgettable visual experiences.

细节理解题。根据第二段中“She performed frequently, and was recruited by the Suzhou Kunqu Opera Troupe (剧团) when she was in middle school. However, her parents refused the troupe’s invitation, insisting that she should concentrate on her studies and not drop out of school.(她经常演出，中学时被苏州昆剧团招募。然而，她的父母拒绝了剧团的邀请，坚持认为她应该集中精力学习，而不是辍学)”可知，刚开始父母拒绝剧团邀请，是不想让她荒废文化课学业。故选B。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Learning the traditional art form was never easy. She started to learn how to pronounce words, sing them lyrically and make gestures gently. As an actress playing martial artists roles at first, she had to spend extra time practicing kungqu movements. Years later, Wang used the word “unimaginable” to describe how hard the days were when she first learned Kunqu. She was soaked in sweat when practicing movements in summer, while in winter she often had chilblains (冻疮) on her hands when training in shabby classrooms with broken windows. “But I was young and determined at the time. No matter how difficult, I always got up early the next morning to practice,” Wang recalls.(学习传统的艺术形式从来都不容易。她开始学习如何发音，如何抒情地唱歌，如何轻柔地做手势。作为一名刚开始扮演武术家角色的女演员，她不得不花额外的时间练习昆曲动作。多年后，王用“难以想象”来形容她刚开始学习昆曲时的艰辛。夏天练习动作时，她浑身是汗，冬天在破窗破窗的破旧教室里训练时，她的手上经常长冻疮。“但当时我很年轻，意志坚定。无论多么困难，我总是在第二天早起练习。”王回忆道)”可知，第三段的主旨是王芳为了学好昆曲付出了巨大的努力。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Wang says she did not love Kunqu at first, but in her early 20s,when she watched the show Peony Pavilion performed by Zhang Jiqing, a master of the art form, it clicked.(王说，她一开始并不喜欢昆曲，但在她20岁出头的时候，当她看到昆曲大师张继青表演的《牡丹亭》时，她对昆曲产生了兴趣)”可知，王改变对昆曲的态度，是因为看到了张继青出神入化的表演，才让她对昆曲从不爱转变为喜爱。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“No matter how difficult, I always got up early the next morning to practice(无论有多难，我第二天早上总是早早地起床练习)”以及通读全文，进行总结概括，文章主要讲了王芳学习昆曲的艰苦历程。虽然她天生嗓音悦耳，但却中途遭到过父母的阻拦，经剧团劝说后，她才再继续学习昆曲。学习过程也十分辛苦，她经过多年的努力，最后获得两次梅花表演家的称号。因此，文章通过王芳昆曲艺术家的事例，告诉我们，做什么事，要想成功，就必须要坚持，每天都努力。即告诉我们罗马不是一日建成的。故选D。

He says, “What we should be thinking about is how to restore local snails to get those benefits rather than depending on this invasive species that can harm the ecosystem. The snails may already have a bad effect on some local plants, and a sign trouble may be showing soon.”
8. What does the uncommon event in the first paragraph refer to
A. The snail kite’s population keeps changing.
B. The local snail kite has found a new food source.
C. An invasive snail positively influences a local species.
D. A local snail has lost its living places to an invasive snail.
9. What is the real reason behind the snail kite’s trouble
A. Their losing good flying ability. B. The absence of a protection list.
C. The appearance of an invasive snail. D. Their long-lasting dry living conditions.
10. What does the underlined word “flourishing” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Falling slowly. B. Growing rapidly. C. Changing quickly. D. Disappearing largely.
11. What do the efforts in Paragraph 4 suggest
A. The restoration work in the Everglades has stopped.
B. Bringing the Everglades to its normal condition is difficult.
C. The Everglades is facing different kinds of natural disasters.
D. Protecting the Everglades’ water is key to snail kites’ survival.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了在佛罗里达州的大沼泽地，蜗牛鹰因为入侵蜗牛而数量得到了增加。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“In Florida’s Everglades, few species are more closely tied to this place’s health than an endangered bird, the snail kite, which eats just one thing: snails. Over the last century, due to changing environments, these local snails have become hard to find, and the birds are dying out. But the number of snail kites has increased recently thanks to an unusual invasive (入侵的) snail, which is a pretty uncommon event.(在佛罗里达州的大沼泽地，很少有物种比一种濒临灭绝的鸟类——蜗牛鹰——与这个地方的健康关系更密切，它只吃一种东西：蜗牛。在过去的一个世纪里，由于环境的变化，这些当地的蜗牛变得很难找到，鸟类也在灭绝。但蜗牛鹰的数量最近有所增加，这要归功于一种不寻常的入侵蜗牛，这是一种相当罕见的事件)”可知，第一段中的不寻常事件指的是入侵蜗牛对当地物种有积极影响。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Over the past century, as many of their living places became pretty dry and water stopped running through parts of the Everglades, the snail kite population fell rapidly. (在过去的一个世纪里，由于它们的许多栖息地变得非常干燥，大沼泽地的部分地区停止了供水，蜗牛鹰的数量迅速下降)”可知，蜗牛鹰遇到麻烦的真正原因是他们的生活条件长期干燥。故选D。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Right shortly after that, this invasive snail came in, and just started”以及后文“Since then, the snail kite population has been slowly increasing.”可知，蜗牛鹰以蜗牛为食，而它们的数量一直在缓慢增加是在入侵蜗牛进入这个地区，并迅速增长之后，故划线词意思是“快速增长”。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Efforts to restore (恢复) Florida’s Everglades have also helped the snail kite, bringing back local plants and the flow of water. The restoration work has been in place for more than 30 years with a cost of more than $20 billion. But progress is slow.(恢复佛罗里达大沼泽地的努力也帮助了蜗牛鹰，带回了当地的植物和水流。修复工作已经进行了30多年，耗资超过200亿美元。但进展缓慢)”可推知，第4段中的努力说明了将沼泽地恢复到正常状态是困难的。故选B。
D
A lot more animals glow under a special light than scientists previously thought. This ability to glow is known as fluorescence (荧光), which happens when light is absorbed as one wavelength and emitted as another wavelength.
Travouillon, a scientist from Harvard, wondered why so many animals had this unusual quality, and he asked one key question: Is there a function behind the ability To address the question, Travouillon and his team took a closer look at the life histories of the glowing mammals.
The team discovered that the fluorescence was mainly found in light-colored areas of an animal’s skin and fur. Then they looked at where the fluorescence was found in the animal’s body. They compared that to the animal’s diet and how the animals moved. They also checked whether the animal was nocturnal or diurnal, Travouillon explained. Animals that are nocturnal are most active at night, whereas animals that are diurnal are most active during the day.
One finding was that fluorescence was more common among ground-dwelling, tree-dwelling and burrowing mammals compared to animals that live in water, Travouillon said. The team also found that having a fluorescent coat was more common among nocturnal animals compared to diurnal animals. One potential explanation for that fact is that having a fluorescent coat could help no cturnal animals become more visible to potential partners.
“So, for example, with a species like a quoll that has white spots on its back, the fluorescence would simply brighten their spots,” Travouillon said. “In this way, they are more easily seen. Fluorescence might help members of a species find each other and perhaps recognize each other from a distance,” Travouillon added.
On a closing note, Travouillon cautioned wildlife enthusiasts not to go searching for glowing critters with a UV light. That’s because UV light can damage the animal’s eyesight. Instead, if you want to look for animals in the dark, he recommended using a red light, since it isn’t as bright.
12. What kind of animals are most active at night according to the passage
A. Diurnal animals. B. Nocturnal animals. C. Glowing animals. D. Underwater animals.
13. Why was a fluorescent coat more common for nocturnal animals
A. To live in water. B. To help them move easily at night.
C. To see the members of their species clearly. D. To brighten other nocturnal animals’ spots.
14. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. UV light is harmful for the animal’s eyesight.
B. Wildlife enthusiasts can’t search for glowing critters.
C. Nocturnal animals can be found easily by wildlife enthusiasts.
D. Wildlife enthusiasts had better use bright light to search for glowing mammals.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Active mammals with fluorescent. B. Suggestions for animals enthusiasts.
C. Animals glow under special lights. D. Mammals with an unusual ability in the night.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了科学家发现动物会在特殊的光线下发光，这种发光的能力被称为荧光，文章解释了这一特性产生的原因以及研究的影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Animals that are nocturnal are most active at night, whereas animals that are diurnal are most active during the day.(夜行性动物在晚上最活跃，而昼行性动物在白天最活跃)”可知，夜行动物在晚上最活跃。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“One potential explanation for that fact is that having a fluorescent coat could help no cturnal animals become more visible to potential partners.(对这一事实的一种可能的解释是，拥有荧光外套可以帮助动物变得更容易被潜在的伙伴发现)”可知，荧光外套在夜行动物中更常见是为了清楚地看到它们物种的成员。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“That’s because UV light can damage the animal’s eyesight.(这是因为紫外线会损害动物的视力)”可推知，紫外线对动物的视力有害。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第一段“A lot more animals glow under a special light than scientists previously thought. This ability to glow is known as fluorescence(荧光), which happens when light is absorbed as one wavelength and emitted as another wavelength.(在一种特殊的光线下发光的动物比科学家之前认为的要多得多。这种发光的能力被称为荧光，当光以一种波长吸收并以另一种波长发射时就会发生荧光)”可知，文章主要介绍了科学家发现动物会在特殊的光线下发光，这种发光的能力被称为荧光，文章解释了这一特性产生的原因以及研究的影响。可知，C选项“动物在特殊的灯光下发光”最符合文章标题。故选C。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When Canadian couple Edith Lemay and Sebastien Pelletier first noticed that their daughter Mia was having visual problems she was just three years old.
A few years after they first took her to see a specialist, Mia was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa (视网膜色素变性), a rare genetic disease that caused a loss or decline in vision over time. There’s nothing they could really do, because there was currently no cure or effective treatment to slow down the progression of retinitis pigmentosa.
Once they came to terms with the news, the couple focused their attention on helping their child to build the skills that she’d need to lead her way through life. When Mia’s specialist suggested that they should assist her with “visual memories”, Lemay realized that there was one truly incredible way that they could do just that for her.
“I thought, ‘I’m not going to show her an elephant in a book. I’m going to take her to see a real elephant,’” she explains. “And I’m going to fill her visual memory with the best, most beautiful images I can.”
She and her husband soon began making plans to spend a year traveling around the globe with their kid. They thought there were great things to do at home, but there’s nothing better than traveling where they could feast their eyes on the wonderful scenery.
After gathering up enough savings, they soon began their family journey with an in-depth itinerary (行程) that involved traveling to lots of places all over the world.

【答案】参考范文
When the parents finally announced the news, Mia hesitated. “I am bound to lose my sight. It’s meaningless to start the journey.” Mia murmured, with her head down. Observing Mia’s low mood, Lemay took her into the arms, kissing her lightly on the cheek. Softly and slowly, Lemay pictured the vast plains, the crystal clear lakes, and the snow-capped mountains that she had witnessed during her previous travels and said: “Honey, it’s not what we see with our own eyes that lasts, but what we preserve in our memory. We hope to keep you company to beautiful places as many as possible so as to color the rest of your life in your mind.” Having inspired by what her mother said, Mia cheered herself up and set out.
As their family journey went on, Mia became fascinated by these unforgettable visual experiences. Among them, what impressed her most was the scenic spots in nature. With her parents’ company and encouragement, she visited thick and wild forests to see the real elephants as her parents had expected. On the plains, elephants were eating grass, ears flapping lazily as they moved slowly. It was indeed the greatest show in her mind. At that moment, Mia felt that she was so lucky to fill her visual memory with the beautiful images. No matter how hard her life was going to be, the trip would shine in her mind forever.
